Buttler’s aggressive intent in the powerplay, combined with the calm presence of Shubman Gill, has given GT a strong foundation. Add to that the ever-reliable Rashid Khan, and the Titans suddenly look like a balanced side.
However, questions remain about their middle order. If early wickets fall, the likes of Rahul Tewatia and others will need to step up under pressure. Against a desperate KKR, complacency could be costly.
This fixture presents an opportunity for GT to solidify their standing. With conditions in Ahmedabad favouring batting, their in-form top order could once again dictate terms.
